Introduction

• This presentation contains the draft final energy-efficiency forecast 

for the 2018-2023 period

• The forecast estimates reductions in energy and demand from 

state-sponsored energy-efficiency programs in the New England 

control area by region and state (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, VT)

• Data used to create the forecast originates from state-sponsored 

energy-efficiency Program Administrators and state regulatory 

agencies

• The forecast is informed by a stakeholder process facilitated by ISO 

New England’s Energy-Efficiency Forecast Working Group

5
Introduction cont.

• The energy-efficiency forecast is based on averaged 

production costs, peak-to-energy ratios and projected 

budgets of state-sponsored energy-efficiency programs

• This forecast follows the same fundamental forecast process 

and methodology used since the first EE forecast in 2012

• Inputs to this initial draft forecast consist of:

– EE forecast methodology, developed by the ISO 

– EE program data provided by EE PAs

– EE Forecast Working Group Stakeholder input provided at the 

November 26, 2013 meeting

– Budget projections provided by NE regulators and PAs

6
Introduction cont.

• The EE forecast is used in ISO studies looking beyond the FCM 

timeframe such as:

– Long-term transmission planning studies 

– Economic planning studies 

– Other planning studies 

• The Final EE forecast is incorporated into the CELT report and 

Regional System Plan

• The EE forecast is developed on an annual basis by the ISO 

with stakeholder input from the EEFWG and PAC

7
Introduction cont.

• EE forecast will not impact:

– ICR/Local Sourcing Requirement/Maximum Capacity Limit 

– FCM auctions 

– FCM related reliability studies (qualification, de-list, non-price 

retirement) 

– Any System Operations analysis across the four-year FCM window 

• In the near term (0-3 years), EE is integrated into the planning 

processes as qualified capacity delivered by regulated utilities 

through the ISO NE Forward Capacity Market

8
Introduction cont.

• The ISO received formal public comments on the initial draft 

forecast presented at the February 11, 2014 EEFWG meeting. 

• Comments and the ISO response may be viewed at 

http://www.iso-ne.com/eefwg

• The ISO plans to issue the final EE forecast May 2014 in both 

PowerPoint and written report formats

2014 ENERGY-EFFICIENCY FORECAST 

SUMMARY
Summary of 2014 Forecast

• EE forecast results are slightly larger than the 2013 forecast results 

due to increased budgets in ME and CT

• Program performance changes from 2013 forecast

– Production cost increased slightly, resulting in an decrease in energy 

reductions from equivalent budget $

– Peak-to-Energy Ratios decreased slightly, resulting in smaller demand 

reductions from equivalent energy reductions

• Results vary state by state

• Generally, energy remains flat for the region with notable 

reductions in energy in VT and RI

• Generally, demand reductions from EE slows peak growth rate in 

the region

11
EE FORECAST ASSUMPTIONS
EE Forecast Model General Assumptions

• Annual budgets provided by the Commissions or representatives on their 

behalf are used in model and held constant in years after the latest 

approved budget

• Realization Rate and Percent Spent variables are combined into a single 

budget uncertainty factor

• Production cost baselines are derived from a 3 year average of recent 

performance

• The production cost escalation rate is set at 5% per year

• Inflation rate is set at 2.5% per year

• Peak-to-Energy Ratios are derived from a 3 year average of recent 

performance and held constant through forecast period*

• Current CELT/RSP energy forecast used in conjunction with SBCs to 

forecast SBC dollars

13

* Maine’s three year planned production data were used for Peak-to-Energy Ratio in the analysis
2014 Updated EE Forecast Model 

Implementation Assumptions

• 2013 CELT/RSP Energy Forecast

• FCA8 Clearing Price and CSO was used for calculating budget $

• Production Cost: Updated with PA 2010-2012 average

• Production Cost Escalation Rate: Remains 5% + 2.5% inflation

• Peak-to-Energy Ratio: Updated with PA 2010-2012 average

• State Budget Data: only CT and ME submitted new budgets

• Budget Uncertainty: MA stays at 20% and RI stays at 10%, based 

on average spend rates observed in PA data and large increases in 

budget $

• For ME used production costs and peak-to-energy ratios from 

state budget due to substantial increase in budget and its impact 

on them

14
Fundamentals of EE Forecast Model

15

1) MWh = [ (1-BU) * Budget $ ] / [ $/MWh * PCINCR ] 

where:

Budget $ = an estimate of the dollars to be spent on EE ($)

(System Benefit Charge + RGGI + FCM + Policy)

BU = budget uncertainty (%)

$/MWh = production cost ($/MWh)

PCINCR = production cost increases (%)

2) MW = MWh * PER

where:

PER = peak-to-energy ratio (MW/MWh)
EE Forecast Model Budget Assumptions 

Regarding Forward Capacity Market

• FCM capacity clearing price was held constant at $7.025/kWmonth†, the latest FCA existing capacity clearing price for 

Capacity Commitment Period 2017-18

• ISO assumed that all achieved EE capacity would be bid into 

and clear in future FCA’s‡

• The forecast calculated Capacity Supply Obligation was used 

to determine FCM contribution to budget

16

†FCA clearing price used is for modeling purposes only and should not be considered an indication 

of future clearing prices. 

‡The ISO assumption that all achieved EE capacity would be bid into and clear in future FCA’s is 

only for modeling purposes and should not be considered an indication of any future FCA outcome. 
Comparison of EE Forecasts

• Comparison of the 2013 and 2014 forecast for the 2022 

production year is made to illustrate the forecast transitions 

from year to year

• The 2014 forecast ends in 2023, so the final numbers in the 

following table are only for this comparison 

• See remaining slides for the final 2014 forecast of 2023 period

CHANGE IN REPRESENTATION OF EE IN FCM
Appending the EE Forecast to the last year of 

FCM Passive Demand Resources

• In the representation of the total contribution of EE, the EE 

forecast is appended to the last year of FCM Passive Demand 

Resources (PDR)

– The 2013 CELT forecast had FCM PDR from 2010-2016 and the 2013 EE 

forecast from 2017-2022

• The CELT report and Load Forecasting documentation and 

presentations use the current CSO values in calculating peaks 

and energy net of FCM PDR 

• Transmission Planning uses a different measure of FCM PDR: 

existing qualified capacity

34
Appending the EE Forecast to the last year of 

FCM Passive Demand Resources

• Starting with the 2014 CELT, System Planning will be using the 

existing qualified capacity along with the EE forecast for the CELT 

report and Load Forecasting in calculating the peaks and energy net 

of FCM PDR

• The change to FCM existing qualified capacity from CSOs should 

eliminate dramatic changes in the representation of the forecast 

primarily due to market activity

– Examples of market impacts include: EE expiring measures, static and 

dynamic delist bids, and proration

• Use of FCM existing qualified capacity will be more representative 

of physically installed measures

• FCM existing qualified capacity is consistent with the inputs to 

Transmission Planning processes
